Controlled Unclassified Information
This is a broad new categorization of information that must be protected (NIST SP 800.171, effective December 31, 2017) when being accessed, processed or transmitted from non-federal systems. The requirements for control are specific and included in contracts between federal agencies and nonfederal organizations, like universities.
